Author Guidelines

Jefferson InterProfessional Education Center (JCIPE) was established in 2007 with a mission to promote excellence in healthcare through interprofessional education and scholarship.

The Interprofessional Education and Care Newsletter is a peer reviewed tri-annual publication produced by JCIPE for faculty, health professionals and learners from diverse fields and backgrounds. It provides a forum to disseminate current information and innovative projects advancing interprofessional education, evaluation, research and practice in order to further this mission.

NEWSLETTER TOPICS

Manuscripts for the Interprofessional Education and Care Newsletter should highlight initiatives that are representative of collaborative interprofessional education and care and/or evaluation projects. The newsletter strongly encourages manuscripts that address exciting new innovations and rigorous evaluation for integrated models of education or care. For example, topics could include:

REFERENCES

Correct reference numbering, formatting and complete citations are the responsibility of the author. The managing editor will request that authors revise references if they are incorrect or improperly formatted. A maximum of four references will be accepted.

Please do not use the automated reference feature in Word as this makes it very difficult to edit and format for printing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORS

The editorial board welcomes letters to the editors. Due to limited space, we cannot guarantee a letter will be published.

a) The managing editor reviews the initial submission. If the article needs any immediate attention or revisions, you will be contacted prior to review by the editorial board.

b) Manuscripts will be reviewed by members of the editorial board. If
accepted or provisionally accepted for publication, the suggested edits will
be summarized and the author will be contacted by the managing editor with
the requested changes. You will be given a resubmission deadline at that
time. Please note: The editorial board reserves the right to reject
manuscripts viewed as not meeting the Interprofessional Education and Care Newsletter standards. Additionally, a manuscript accepted by the editorial
board is not guaranteed for publication (due to space limitations or the
need to showcase a particularly timely topic). Manuscripts accepted and
ready for publication could take 3-6 months to appear in the
Interprofessional Education and Care Newsletter, depending on the production
cycle. All manuscripts are kept on file and considered for future issues.
